Such a Deal - the Iraqi who turned in Uday/Qusay gets a whole new life.
NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE July 30


All of a sudden, Iraqis seem very interested in helping Coalition forces find their former oppressor. One reason is as old as Byzantine history itself: money and Al-Zaidan’s “a very likely candidate” for the whole $30 million

http://www.msnbc.com/news/946149.asp?0ql=c9p

“You and your family may be relocated to a safe location, and have an opportunity to start a new life, pay for a home, and educate your children,” the program literature explains
***
Al-Zaidan can even become an American. So far he, his wife and five children plan to initially live on a military base somewhere in the United States. They’ll get English lessons, financial advice, new identities and even an introduction to American culture, though al-Zaidan clearly already knows about opportunism

COMMENT: ---- At the meat packing plants this guy would be called a Judas Goat

1. And millions of Americans remain unemployed
This is by far one of the most digusting things I've seen yet. Good American taxpayer dollars being thrown at Iraqi's so that our government can murder people (evil or not). I'm just so disgusted by this, I'm sitting here with my mouth agape.

And to add insult to injury, this guy and his family will live on a military base in th U.S.! Does anyone realize that those of us with spouses on active duty have to wait, sometimes up to 2 years, for on base military housing???? This is a betrayal to all who serve in uniform, to all who died and continue to die in Iraq. I can only believe that this Iraqi and his family will probably be housed in officer's quarters, which makes this even more of a betrayal. The more I read about this crap, the angrier I become.

I'm just so angry right now, I'm just so angry.

4. I find it odd
I find it odd that you charactarize Uday/Qusay as Christ(Judas comment).

6. Re: "Judas Goat"
Relax, nobody was comparing Saddam's psychopathic sons to Jesus. In a stockyard the "Judas Goat" is a goat trained to lead sheep down the chute to be slaughtered; it slips away through a gate in the side while the sheep keep going to their doom.

9. Hmmm, that's cool.
Not the part about sheep getting slaughtered, just the little bit of info I picked up from your post. Now I know what a Judas goat is.

8. Now Now calm down
He was reading way too in to your comment, that doesn't qualify him/her as an idiot, just somebody who thinks too much. Which at times can be idiotic.

Devil's advocate:
Two less assholes in the world. I'm glad they're dead. And I don't care that the guy got some money for it. Welcome to the real world.
